Hello,
this post will contains some suggestions which have no link between them.
-Firstly, i think it could be great to have something which allows us to follow news from w3schools "easily, something like a page where we could see the last update in a single line.
example :
02/03/2018 Update "How to" section
01/30/2018 Add php tutorial (server side)
In fact, the website become "big", then it could be an asset.
-Secondly, i see more and more websites which have a functionnality to switch the theme (to a night theme) by clicking on one button (in their navbar) and the change is done on the whole website . This featur could get its place in "the How to" section.
-To finish, this last idea is probably out of the main content of w3schools, but maybe Java could get its place like Node.js in the server side section although Java does not necessarily have this main purpose. (of course this add should only approach the server side).

I am confused about the use of the <link> and <enclosure> subelements of the <item> subelement.
The difference between the <link> subelements of the <channel> and <item> elements appears clear, but the difference between the <link> and <enclosure> subelements of the <item> subelement are difficult to understand. For example, if your RSS feed contained a long series of <item> subelements with each referring to a different podcast, why would you need both a <link> and <enclosure> for the same <item> subelement.
<channel>
<link></link>
<item>
<link></link>
<enclosure></enclosure>
</item>
</channel>

Hello, I am trying to create an RSS reader based on this example:
http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ajax_rss_reader.asp
Specifically, I am attempting to modify this example so that the reader will access and display all the available comic images (and nothing else) from any given web comic RSS feed. I realize that it may be necessary to make the code at least a little site-specific, but I am trying to make it as general-purpose as possible. Currently, I have modified the initial example to produce a reader that displays all the comics of a given list of RSS feeds.. However, it also displays other unwanted text information that I am trying to get rid of. Here is my code so far, with a few feeds that are giving me trouble in particular:
index.php file:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function showRSS()
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
} else
{ // code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
document.getElementById("rssOutput").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","logger.php",true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="showRSS()">
<div id="rssOutput"></div>
</body>
</html>
(pretty sure there's nothing wrong with this file; I think the problems arise in the next one although I included this one for completeness)
logger.php:
<?php
//function to get all comics from an rss feed
function getComics($xml)
{
$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
$xmlDoc->load($xml);
$x=$xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('item');
foreach ($x as $x)
{
$comic_image=$x->getElementsByTagName('description')->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;
//output the comic
echo ($comic_image . "</p>");
echo ("<br>");
}
}
//create array of all RSS feed URLs
$URLs =
[
"SMBC" => "http://www.smbc-comics.com/rss.php",
"garfieldMinusGarfield" => "http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/rss",
"babyBlues" => "http://www.comicsyndicate.org/Feed/Baby%20Blues",
];
//Loop through all RSS feeds
foreach ($URLs as $xml)
{
getComics($xml);
}
?>
Because this method includes extra text in between the comic images (a lot of random stuff with SMBC, just a few advertisement links for gMg, and a copyright link for baby blues), I looked at the RSS feeds and concluded that the problem is that it's the description tag that includes the image source, but also includes other stuff. Next, I tried modifying the getComics function to scan directly for the image tag, rather than first looking for the description tag. I replaced the part in between the DOMDocument creation/loading and the URL list with:
$images=$xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('img');
print_r($images);
foreach ($images as $image)
{
//echo $image->item(0)->getAttribute('src');
echo $image->item(0)->nodeValue;
echo ("<br>");
}
but apparently getElementsByTagName doesn't pick up the image tag embedded inside the description tag, because I get no comic images outputted, and the following output from the print_r statement:
DOMNodeList Object ( [length] => 0 ) DOMNodeList Object ( [length] => 0 )
Finally, I tried a combination of the two methods, trying to use getElementsByTagNam('img') inside the code that parses out the description tag contents. I replaced the line:
$comic_image=$x->getElementsByTagName('description')->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;
with:
$comic_image=$x->getElementsByTagName('description')->item(0)->getElementsByTagName('img');
print_r($comic_image);
But this also finds nothing, producing the output:
DOMNodeList Object ( [length] => 0 )
So sorry for the really long background, but I'm wondering if there is a way to parse just the img src out of a given RSS feed without the other text and links I don't want?
Help would be much appreciated

Hi,
I've just built a basic web site, but I now realise (by going through the process) that I need to understand other languages & processes in order to make the site streamlined & fully functional. Because I've only learnt html & css (on a basic level) my understanding of php, sql, js, xml, etc is very poor. I therefor need some advice on what the best mechanisms are for inputting data, storing it & displaying it on the web, possibly with some type of rss feed too.
The basic process the site is doing, can be described as follows:
1. Users enter data using an online form.
2. Data is stored on a database & manually verified.
3. Certain info from the database is automatically displayed on the site (but not all) in a friendly viewable format.
4. Every time the site is updated a feed is created (like an rss or blog).
The first two processes I have achieved, but I am exploring ways of achieving the 3rd & 4th processes. Any advice on what methods or languages would be best to use would be greatly appreciated. I'm happy to learn any coding required.
The data set can be stored in various formats (xlsx, csv, ods, tsv, etc), its really a question of the best way to interpret it & automatically display it that I am exploring. Along with creating the feed. Thanks for any advice.
Old Guy.

Greetings all.
I've read the w3schools tutorial on reading rss feeds on blogs
One thing I wondered was if there was a similar php example for reading from a forum thread feed
http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?app=core&module=global&section=rss&type=forums&id=2
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello!I'm working on a portfolio on XML languages and want to include some thoughts of users about those languages such as RSS,SVG, SMIL and so on. Are there any websites I can read upon opinions related to those topics. Maybe some thought about the how those languages will do in the future. Thank you!

Hi all, Just a quick question on rss feed readers. I want to add a rss feed to my website and I am wondering if anyone could recommend a particular feed reader to embed on the web page? Many thanks! Mark.

The purpose of this assignment is for you to exercise your skills on: 1) server side processing ofXML technologies, 2) consuming web services and 3) making use of digital map services. Your taskin this exercise will be to develop and implement a web-based personalized location based newsservice that will visualize news content in the digital maps based on the location of the particularnews.The system you will develop should provide the following functionality to its users.1. Your system should allow the users to aggregate three different RSS feeds (they should bepure RSS and NOT GeoRSS feeds). Examples of such feeds can be found at:http://newsrss.bbc.c...n/world/rss.xmlhttp://www.nytimes.c...rvices/xml/rss/2. User should be able to filter the aggregated RSS feeds using a random keyword (you canchoose the keyword freely) and based on that to generate a new RSS feed containing onlythe filtered news items.3. The system should enable transformation of the filtered RSS feed into a GeoRSS.4. The system should visualize the generated GeoRSS feed using a digital map service (such asGoogle Maps, Yahoo Maps, Bing Maps, OpenStreetMaps etc.)Im kinda stuck in here , can please somebody help me with my project , cause my teacher is really bad in explaining ...So please somebody help me !

I wonder if anyone can help me? I am trying to connect to a RSS feed - which is in a xml file format - and display selected content from the feed in a web page; I am using a Wordpress site to display the output but I do not think that is really relevant. What I am stuck on is how exactly I import [connect to] the feed and then display selected content from the feed. I am used to dynamic content using PHP, MySQL, scripts, client and server side scripting etc so I feel that I should be able to work this out but am finding it very difficult to find reading material on the subject that I want. Can someone pls advise, detail:1. connect to a RSS feed2. display selected content from the feed using XML Thanks...

div id issue. My website was created by another company in Wordpress and I'm trying to make some edits to it. On the home page, there's a section on the bottom right hand called "From the Blog" and it pulls the latest blog postings. I want to change that section to "Industry News" then put an RSS Feed from another site in that section. I cannot figure out where the coding is to change this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
